Need advice on I-751 waiver, Divorce

[_ske 0]

Hi everyone, I'm so thankful for the resources this website has provided me and the amount of information I've gathered here thus far throughout my journey. 

I soon need to start preparing to file to have my conditions removed on my greencard, and will be filing for it separately as my Husband and I are divorcing. 

This is kind of a weird situation as everything, even up until now, has been good faith. Our divorce has no hard feelings and he has no issue with continuing to help me as I've made my life here in the states. 

The reason we're divorcing is that I came out to him as being a lesbian, and only recently (within a year or so) have discovered this. 

I'm extremely grateful for how understanding he has been, and honestly his behavior wasn't expected at all. 

But my main question is, as far as how our marriage ended. Should I mention my sexuality?

Well I can no think of anywhere that would require you to do so.

You do not need to mention your sexuality or the reasons for a divorce.  Most US divorces are "no fault," meaning that no blame is appointed to either party, but the marriage is dissolved due to "irreconcilable differences." 

 

Having your bona fide marriage evidence in order will be the best preparation you can make, and it is great that things are amicable between you and that he is supportive of the ROC.

That's helpful, thank you!

I've just read elsewhere that I should provide evidence regarding the circumstances surrounding the ending of the marriage. So I was a little worried about whether I should mention it.

I don't think evidence in the form of documentation is needed regarding the end of marriage. But after reading your post, it occurred to me that this (the end of marriage) might come up naturally in the potential ROC interview. The only thing I can think of is a scenario in which if you were in an individual therapy then your shrink might vouch for your circumstances in the form of a letter to the interview. You need not disclose anything on your own regarding the ending of marriage in the application  or in the interview.
